How to i see and share pictures?

Search the following hashtags and handles on IG/ Twitter and Facebook: #dobetterride @dobetterride #aquickbrownfox as much as possible.

Do i have to identify as African-American or blacK?

I Said What I Said! All are welcome y'all! While I strongly believe in the need for safe spaces for women and people of color, I am hoping that this can be a space that is truly intersectional. That being said, if you are an organization that only hosts rides for people of color, follow your best judgement with that, but collaborations are strongly encouraged. Do better, together!

How can i find other dbT folks riding in my area?

Give a shout in the Facebook event, or look for an organized ride listed on the Strava group! Please let me know if you'd like to organize a ride in your area. Send an e-mail to ayesha@aquickbrownfox.com.

DO I HAVE TO IDENTIFY AS A WOMAN?

Nope! All are welcome! Just keep in mind that everyone is participating as equals just trying to have a good time!

is this a charity ride?

Nope. Cycling is a very expensive sport, so the profits will help me achieve my goal of becoming the first African-American female road cyclist. Not quite a charity, but definitely helpful and appreciated. This is part of my master plan for a how we can work together and achieve goals as a community. For those who have been asking how they can support, this is it! It takes a village!

IS THIS A RACE?

Not even a little bit. Although, be sure to join the accept your invitation into the Do Better Together Strava group and connect with/ root for other participants!

I'm ready to do better together with you!
